wtb: longer SOT yak.

So I've got a 15ft Rosco Canadian and paddle a TK1 as well. I'm on the prowl for a half decent fishing yak that could be pressed into touring/training duties as well. I've seen a scupper pro that looks all right, and the second hand price under $1k is appealing.

Anyone got any ideas, or know where a longer boat is gathering dust that would look better as cash?

Re: wtb: longer SOT yak.

If you like the looks of the Scupper Pro, have a think about an RTM Tempo. It is the exact same mold as the scupper pro with a few cosmetic changes (no transducer scupper or Scotty threads). I picked mine up brand new from Anaconda on sale for $700. It really is a nice blend between a paddle yak and fishing yak.
Keep an eye out on Ebay, as well as the AKFF and KFDU forums. Always a few bargains there.

Re: wtb: longer SOT yak.

Triple the price, and I'd guess about twice as nice. They are pretty looking boats. After many years of wrecking equipment from 4wding into places and sliding down banks etc., I've decided a second hand plastic yak is the best I deserve.
That didn't stop me from getting a decent dose of stealth envy though. I'd spend $$ on one of those before I bought a Hobie that's for sure.

If you remember where you saw a 495 for $1300 I'd like to have a squiz though - you never know...
